According to the result of the meeting
held the previous evening the special com
mittee on temperance reported recommend
ing passage of the high license bill of Sena-
tor Daniels. The amendment to make the
license for year or fraction of year was
read and adopted. Then Senator Oswald,
OF Minneapolis, moved to refer the bill back
tn the committee, as it was only minority
report, a majority OF the committee having
been absent from the meeting. His motion
was lost by the following vote, which may
be regarded as test vote:

The General Appropriations E8On
Bill for st. aui as lG Now STAN

The General Appropriations Bonds
Bill for st. aui as lt Now stands.
The general city appropriations bill was
discussed By the Ramsey county delegation
and council committee on legislation in the
council chamber last evening. The item of
500, 600 bonds for bridges over railroad
tracks, which is exclusive of Senator
Schetfer's bill for $35, 900 bonds, passed in
the senate, was laid over; the additional
S25, 600 asked for by the fire department
was refused, and the proposed amount for
the new hospital was cut down half. One
important item is that for 500, 900 to retire
old outstanding city bonds. 1t was de-
veloped that the city council has run in
debt to the extent of about SIS, 600, of
which $16,5 500 was for the carnival. Speaker
w. r. Merriam raked the council over
the Goals mildly but seriously. and also op-
posed increasing the city debt until it
would react against the city'S credit. bv
securing the authority to issue a stupendous
amount of bonds The court house item of
$500, 900, One-half city and the other half
county bonds, was referred to him to con-
suit with members of the court house COM
mission about. Some slight objection was
raised against the appropriations of $40. 900
each to purchase land for the proposed
markets in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
wards, and Mr.. Boland, of the Ramsey
County Agricultural society, opposed the
idea of having anything other than one
central market. Mr.. Merriam contended
that the Sixth ward needed a market, the
general idea prevailing that the present city
market was inadequate. However, the
market item was left untouched. The bill,
as it now stands is in the hands of the
chairman, Representative Hendrickson,
who will get it through the house this
morning, Senator Smith to push it through
the senate. The different amounts for the
respective items as first proposed and as
now adopted are as tabulated here:

Mississippi in Swift county.
The house consumed almost the entire
afternoon in considering and discussing the
Ryan insurance bill, which provides that
insurance companies shall pay the full face
value fpolices for losses sustained. The
debate was earnest enough to approach
acrlmOniousnesS, and ended in personal
wrangle between Donnelly and Potter.
Speeches were made by Donnelly. Lee,
Furlong and Powers. in favor of the bill,
and Rogers, Hendrickson, Potter and a
number of others in opposition. The bill
was finally recommended to pass. Emery's
bill, providing for the punishment of for
eign insurance companies that do business
in the state and fail to comply with the
state law, was discussed and laid over for
future action. An effort to have the high

not been seen by a majority of the commit
tee. was unsuccessful. 1t was after 6

Sharp, postmaster at Oconto, Wis, was
brought to Milwaukee last night by United
States marshal and lodged i'll jail, the charge
against him being the rihing of the regis
tered mail packages that were transferred at
his office. The government authorities have
had their suspicious aroused for some time
past. and the plan of sending decoy letters
was successfully used. a number of marked
bills being found in the possession of the
postmaster, or being traced back to him.
Sharp was appointed postmaster by Presl-

commendation of number of prominent

! moved that, as the houses separately had
not agreed upon United States senator,
another ballot be taken. Mr.. Throckmor-
ton. whose absence from the Democratic
caucus yesterday had given uneasiness,
took the floor and stated his belief that the
time had not yet arrived for

was clear in requiring that a bal
lot should not be taken until
two weeks after the legislative organization
was completed. The motion, however,
was carried--37 to 2-and nominations
were called for. Mr.. Beckwith. of Atlanta,
in forcible speech, nominated ex-Gov.

mated ex-Gov. Joseph d. Bedle. He said
he did not believe any one man owned the
Democratic nomination. A ballot was then
taken. Of the thirty-nine Democrats pres
ent thirty-eight voted for Albeit. Mr.
Throckmorton alone voted for Bedle.

was no election. The joint session there
upon adjourned until noon tomorrow.

too much red tape about schools at present,

of public offcehoders, but when it comes TO
reimbursing locality for expenses occa-
stoned by losses caused by destructive cy-
clone. which has left the people almost too
poor to pay taxes then very economic spirit
is displayed.
